Core Synergy + Bikram = 1047 calories.

Today was the first day this week in which I attempt to hit a special class at the gym.  And I have to say, I chose very wisely.

Today's class was Core Synergy.  It's a mix of pilates and balancing, done on a few Bosu balancing tools.  The teacher, Emily was awesome.  I had taken a few yoga classes with her in the past, and her energy just radiates from her so strongly...  You always have a good class with her!

The class itself was tough, and really required you lock down your pelvic muscles and keep good alignment - which work the core.  If you didn't lock the pelvic muscles or keep aligned, you would fall over.

I burned 237 calories in the class, which I think is pretty good.  There was no cardio...  It was all working the muscles. So I think anything over 200 for that is pretty good.  Afterwards, I went to Bikram and burned another 810 calories in 90 minutes.  

Two and a half hours of exercise, and over 1000 calories?  Not bad!
